Diagnosis

On the face of the head the labium extends to between the fore coxae. The face is flattened and, in the ♂, is wider than long and longer than wide in the ♀. The anteclypeus is parallel-sided and the lora do not reach as far as the anterior margins of the maxillary plates. The frontoclypeus is flat anteriorly and widens towards the antennal ledges. The antennal ledges are oblique and prominent. The crown of the head is spatulate and separated from the face by a narrow marginal rim. In the ♂, it is semicircular in outline, and, in the ♀, either half ovate and equal in length with the pronotum or it may be longer than the pronotum. The ocelli are situated close to the anterior margin of the crown, adjacent to, but not in contact with, the eyes. The pronotum is wide laterally and widens slightly posteriorly. The tegmina have normal venation and a "false" as well as a true appendix. In the wings Rs and M1+2 are apically fused (Evans 1966).
